Losar Baoli (the Losar Stepwell) is a stepwell in the Margalla Hills of the Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan. Near the town of Shah Allah Ditta in the Potohar Plateau, the area was a passageway for caravans and armies moving along the east–west direction.

Constructed using dressed bricks, the well can be accessed from Shah Allah Ditta in Sector D-13, via the Kenthla-Haripur Road, established in 2007 by a federal minister.[1] With a six-foot diameter, the well continues to supply water to local residents for their daily needs.[1] Its surroundings, filled with trees and bird songs, provide a restful spot for locals and travelers.[1]
